Republic Of Turkey Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 29.06.2018

Dozens of innocent people were massacred as a result of the Syrian regime’s
attacks targeting civilians in the de-escalation area declared in the
provinces of Deraa and Quneitra in southwest Syria in accordance with the
memorandum signed in Astana. We are saddened by and worried over these
attacks. We strongly condemn these inhuman attacks.

These attacks hinder the efforts in Astana and Geneva to reduce violence on
the ground and to find a political solution for the crisis.

We call on the other guarantors of the Astana agreement and the
international community for the immediate cessation of these attacks.
